Its on a scale from 10-10 because it lasted 10 minutes XD
Thanks!
Hey man its a tough business making teh points. If you didn't do it I bet someone else would soon enough. I just like making parodies of some opinions hehehehe

When I opened it, when it comes to how relevant I found his words for discussion, I was interested in the following points:

- how much Spencer and Micro have power/exercise power in the decision of whether a game developed by one of their own studios has a game mode or not, in this case, split-screen coop. Spencer says: "I think the reason for the team deciding not to include local coop..." which shows he didn't even asked them, so points to either him doing a bad job or maybe a great amount of freedom for their studios, which I find interesting.

I don't think this was discussed in that thread.

- I also found interesting how much of figure that represents Microsoft he really is. If you look at the job description, of course he is, he does PR, doesn't he? But then, if he isn't in touch about a detail like one of his companies games not having a feature and not knowing the reason why and he just tries to imagine the reason, you sort of have to distance Spencer from the company, the gaming division that is.

But the thread was taken more towards attacks at him possibly because lots of people see him and Micro as one and the same.

Anyways, I wanted to point the things I do find worthy of discussion when it comes to Spencer's statements, like the one I posted.

But then I just open threads and as long as people are posting I'm happy. :P

And if people posted like your examples here I would be a happy man :p
I'm definitely not criticizing you when I do this, I parody a thread because of how people react to them which is sometimes in an embarrassing way. Im of the opinion that enough poor discussion merits a parody, yanno? I just wish I could have more than 12 minutes in the spotlight when I do so XD.
People get away with stealthbait and circlejerking against a company yet I can't poke fun at the situation. It sucks XD I just want people to laugh instead of be angry

I am all up for parody. :P I can enjoy those Honest Trailer videos even for stuff I love and respect. Sometimes one can just stop taking things seriously and have a good laugh. Other times though, I take insignificant things too seriously, depends on the moment. xD

Well, now you have a personal best record to break next time. :P I believe in you. :P You can do it.

I think your thread was locked because you insulted Microsoft with your definition of what MS meant, not saying your thread should have been locked, just that the rules prohibit insulting companies if I am not mistaken.

Plus, I bet mods would close it because they don't want to wonder about "intention" when it comes to joke threads. If something can be taken seriously even if it is a joke then I guess they will close the thread.

Aside from that, I think your thread could have remained opened. I mean, there have been parody threads and nonsense threads before in here that have not been locked so, I suppose that is not a factor.

Yea 10 minutes must be some kind of record XD
I think it was locked because they believed nothing good would come of it. To me that's up to debate. I think it should have been allowed to stay open. Not sure how anyone could take it seriously but I guess a few could be offended :p

Thanks! I did the Haruhi Nintendo thread and now a Spencer MS thread so I guess Sony is up next :D it will be the greatest one yet! Prolly do it in a few months.

To me a thread like that is healthy for the four.s because it brings in a good laugh when we are getting so anal about little things. I hope the mods reconsider it in the future. I'll probably talk to them soon

ReimTime, I don't want to be pessimist but if Sony is next then the odds of breaking your 10mins record are an uphill situation cuz I have the feeling it will be reported immediately after you hit the submit button. xD

The Sony community is very proactive in here, you must have noticed. I try to be among those who relax a little though. xD

Oh, the Suzumiya thread, it was you, wasn't it? I forgot. I thought it was Jizzbeard who made it. ^^' Memory fails.

Next time you open one of your threds I'll do my best to post before it gets locked. New mid year resolution right here.

VGCharterz constantly re-evaluate loyalty. Like mods, they won't leave it open to interpretation if you take a jab at Sony, even when joking, there will be those that with the mentality of shoot first ask questions later, let's see if I'm wrong. xD

You may not be able to guarantee the time to open your thread but the ban may be more than guaranteed on the other hand. :P

Cheers for your help, I hadn't seen your post so only just noticed it.
I'm going to change my signature to a Dreams (Media Molecule's new game/creation software), but I really appreciate you posting this.
Wasn't sure about the right resolution for them.
Cheers for being helpful. :)

I did survive! Wait were you referring to the moderation or the night out? Those sub-par posts I made were the brainchild of a drunken, cock-blocked and tired Canadian m8, so believe me when I say that I am mildly embarrassed, but also mildly amused.

It makes no difference to me who reports my posts; it is inconsequential and I see no reason to complain about the moderation, provided of course that they were as half-hearted as that shot at Trump.

Oh, and for the record, I was able to slap a few 12 year old kids who played Call of Duty; so yeah, man of my word :D

Hi axumblade, I see you locked my thread on the discussion of the N-word.

I was wondering, since the problem is the use of that word, I am more than willing to change the title and text to "N-word" as not to address the word directly.

I think a lot of people wanted to post and discuss about that topic so I think having it closed isa loss. I have no problem in making any change to that thread so that it is acceptable for the Mod Team.

By the way, I will send you a private message regarding another issue that I think I Veknoid_Outcast and you could help me out with, just thought I should mention it now that I am here.

The thread was the issue in itself. Creating the debate on whether or not using a certain term as offensive could give users in this community a false sense of what is an isn't acceptable on the forum. We let the thread stay open for a day and didn't moderate you simply because you weren't being offensive about it. But the thread really shouldn't have been allowed in the first place. :/

I don't know if she will beat Ronda but I am rooting for her because Ronda has left me a bad impression after several televised showings. I know Ronda is a great fighter, and if she is better than Bethe may she win, is only fair, but with her personality I rather see someone else surpassing her. Same goes for that McGregor guy. Those personalities may be great for hyping fights off, but I don't embrace them. It is all part of the drama out of the cage.

Come back buddy, ok? Don't go into an emo breakdown on us like some do and ask for some lame permaban and shit. The best thing to do is stay and fight. There are exciting times ahead full of great possibilities for the PS brand.

This is the reason why this website is losing members left and right. Every website has MOD that step in when people get out of line, but being banned for saying sales of a specific title is low!!! It's getting out of hand in here :S

I think the message that went with the ban explained it pretty well. It was a) a bait thread where you were clearly baiting the MS fans b) a spam thread as it lacked any real substance (for future reference, a video full of fart sounds isn't content nor is it proper opinion basis - it seems I need to go into depth and explain this) and c) it's trolling if it is "slamming a particular platform without basis".

If you had proper negative points and seemed to be open to a real discussion that thread would have at most been locked (many threads on the same topic popped up over the span of few days) and you wouldn't have been moderated.

I wasn't baiting MS fans because a part of MS themselves are against this "always online" thing, There is not even confirmation that this thing will appear in that console, yet you establish that relation and determined that I was attacking MS console by attacking an specific feature that people are against. You wrote that I was attacking a console, where did I attack a console? Threads are locked all the time but that is not worth a ban. I have never gotten a thread of mine locked so that would have been my first time, not worth a ban. The ban was unnecessary.
